Pump-Action Shotguns

Pump-action shotguns are sometimes called
slide actions. You must pump, or slide, the forend back and
forth to work this type of action.

To open the action, pull the forend back toward the trigger
guard.

To close the action, push the forend away from the trigger
guard.

If the gun is cocked (ready to fire), you must press
a bolt lock button or lever before the action will open.
Usually the bolt lock lever or button is located just in
front of or just behind the trigger guard.
